Razing First National Bank for new San Antonio building
Work to raze the First National Bank building in Cameron to clear space for a new $75,000 bank home begins this week. The bank shifts banking to the rear, with operations continuing until the new structure is ready. S B Schwert of Waco oversees the project for Gross and Swigert, who hold the erection contract and will also build a brick structure next to the bank for the Daugherty Motor Company. Completion is expected by late October. The bank, Milam county’s oldest, dates to the pioneer days of the area.
